A new rumor is stirring excitement among Nintendo fans — and it’s all about Luigi’s Mansion 4. An industry insider has recently hinted that a new entry in the ghostly series may be on its way to the Nintendo Switch 2. While Luigi’s Mansion 4 hasn’t been officially announced yet, this leak could signal that development is already well underway.
A New Haunted Adventure for Luigi?
The speculation began when known leaker Nash Weedle posted on X (formerly Twitter), teasing that Luigi’s Mansion 4 will be “wild” when it finally launches on the newly released Nintendo Switch 2. Although the post didn’t offer many specifics, it was enough to fuel hopes among longtime fans who’ve been waiting six years for another mainline entry in the series.
Luigi’s Ghost-Hunting History
The original Luigi’s Mansion debuted in 2001 as a launch title for the Nintendo GameCube, offering a spooky, atmospheric twist on the traditional Mario formula. Its sequel, Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, arrived much later in 2013 for the Nintendo 3DS, followed by the well-received Luigi’s Mansion 3 in 2019 for the Switch. Along the way, the series has seen spinoffs and remakes, but fans have been eagerly awaiting a new core installment.
What Do We Know So Far?
Weedle’s post doesn’t reveal much, but other insider reports help paint a fuller picture. A separate rumor from the credible insider Zippo suggested in a March 2024 blog post that Luigi’s Mansion 4 could be twice the size of its predecessors, feature “mind-blowing visuals,” and potentially launch in the first half of 2026.
Still, these rumors remain unconfirmed, and Nintendo has made no official statement on the game’s development. As with all insider leaks, fans are advised to take the news with caution.
Whether or not the rumors turn out to be true, the buzz around Luigi’s Mansion 4 shows just how much love there still is for Luigi’s solo ghost-hunting adventures. With the power of the Nintendo Switch 2 behind it, the next installment could deliver the most visually striking and content-rich game in the series to date.
Stay tuned for official news, and keep that Poltergust charged — you might need it soon.
